Karo So basically Austin is this like this oversexed superspy who is absolutely irresistible to the ladies, but instead of someone like the suave and debonair James Bond we have this dweebish little weirdo with bizarre fashion sense and really bad dental hygiene. It's hilarious. Austin has to save the world from a mad scientist while dealing with the reality that times have changed and you can't just go around grabbing girls by the pussy anymore unless you are Donald Trump. This gives us a lot of the classic Bond schtick with evil lairs, silly henchmen, and some really great scenes with Dr. Evil in father/son group therapy. All in all it is a brilliant performance by Mike Myers as not one but TWO entirely different characters in the same movie. Groovy, man! 12. Plasma Stupid and annoying, yet oddly enjoyable. Watching Austin Powers is like watching a garbage truck flip oversure, its a repulsive disaster, but you gotta stick around to see what trash spills out: overabundant chest hair, atrocious sex jokes, 90s Carrie Fisher, dental floss gadgets, the worst romantic subplot imaginable, and so much more. This movie sucks so bad that I cant help but admire it. C- 13. Forty Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day! I was a 15-year-old boy when this came out so it was pretty much tailor made for me, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Ive only seen a few movies twice in the theater and one of them was Goldmember, so I love the Austin Powers character. It parodies the James Bond franchise and other 60s spy films: not a tough task with the outlandish villains, the secret agent gadgetry, and of course the women. Mike Myers is really funny as the sex obsessed super spy stuck in the wrong era as well as the maniacal Dr. Evil, whos group therapy monologue in particular is one of the funniest things ever. Some of the juvenile humor and dated pop culture references dont hold up all that well, but Austin Powers will always have a place in comedy history. Also: prime Elizabeth Hurley? Yeah baby, yeah! 20. John I expected Austin Powers to be a lot dumber than it was. I knew it almost entirely for its role in popular culture and the handful of widely known clips, but hadn't ever watched it start to finish, and it was ultimately the smaller stuff that really drew me into the movie. Things like the 60s dance transitions between scenes. Austin's reaction to the Cold War ending was hilarious ("Oh, smashing, yay capitalism"). There is admittedly a lot of dumb in it, primarily things like Alotta Fagina and the recurring dick pump jokes, but the majority of it is legitimately funny. --- https://www.backloggery.com/betrayedtangerin <cite>BetrayedTangy posted [p:972341908] in Board 8 Wa...
